Pros
The pros? There are a few. Mostly you'll get to work with some nice people. There are some good perks, the company has tickets to U of O and Seahawks games. They'll give you some shirts and stuff with the CBT logo on them, of course since the name of the company and logo are so ridiculous you'll be embarrassed to wear them.
Cons
Most of the cons for CBT center on the clown CEO Dan Charbonneau and his buddy the COO, Ryan Lee. As mentioned in other reviews the CEO shows up occasionally and is entirely disruptive in the most negative possible way. He thinks he is the only one in any room that has a brain; unfortunately, quite the opposite is true. Despite the incredible incompetence of the CEO, the absolute worst part of CBT is the COO, Ryan Lee. He is one of those guys that thinks that a public display of enthusiasm equals excellent leadership. Unfortunately, Lee is not only the most passive-aggressive, inauthentic individual you'll ever work for; he also has none of the qualities of an effective leader or a manager. Additional cons at this company include constant firings without warning. If you work at CBT you'll need to get used to emails that say "Today is -------'s last day at CBT. If you have any questions please see me". Then all of the fired person's colleagues will be left trying to understand what the hell happened, how to avoid the same fate and how to make up for the work the fired person was doing. Seriously, during my time here I've received dozens of these emails. Pay at CBT is another serious con. They think since they pay for your benefits that they can pay far, far below market value for their employees. Come work for us, we're really great, you can have an icky cafeteria lunch and 35% below market wages! They apparently need the salary employees should make to build golf simulators and fund the CEO and COO's golf outings, actually come to think of it I'd give up more of my salary if these two incompetents went on more trips away from the office! The vacation policy is fine but if you use all your vacation time the COO will view that as a negative. Sexism in the open is for sure a con. I personally heard the CEO say about a current employee, "She's not much of a [job function] but she has great [female body parts]". It really is a mystery why Main Street Capital who owns a significant piece of the company lets this opportunity get squandered by incompetent, bizarre management.
